Reply #184: aha, there's that amino acid i was thinking of (have no cat, btw)

and even if i had a cat i wouldn't force it to be vegan.

but if they've managed to do something that circumvents potential dangers of forcing a strict carnivore into a functioning vegan i'm fascinated. still doesn't sound like they've done it. perhaps ovo/lacto/icthy vegetarian but not a vegan version.

:) i better say nothing, but taurine is in red bull. but be careful people! just because you can eat it doesn't mean your pets can (different biology and all). i'm afraid the caffeine might be really bad for cats. i know large amounts of chocolate is lethal to dogs, and there's suspicion that the main culprit might be caffeine. don't want anyone feeding red bull to supplement their cats diet.

thanks for all the info mordarlar. it's good for people to know this. as has been said, "the path to hell is paved with good intentions," be good to your pet and don't force it to live a wholly human life. respect their biology.
